Cloud security - is there any?
Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2017 11:36 am
I am considering rolling-out Cmaps across a small enterprise. Our corporate website and user forum, not dissimilar to this, has just been the victim of a concerted hacking attempt of the MySQL database. It's caused chaos.
Much though I like Cmap, I'm mandated to be absolutely sure that every possible step has been taken by IHMC to protect user cloud data. Furthermore, what steps are regularly taken to back-up user cloud data (if any) by yourselves and also what steps are taken to protect user log-in passwords. How is Google prevented from gathering data by trawling through the cloud site?
I realise that as a practically free service the user cannot expect too much, but an understanding of the risks would be most welcome. It might encourage users to pay for an enhanced level of security, such as encryption, which I understand you considered a couple of years ago but do not seem to have proceeded with. The alternative in many ways to Cmaps is Microsoft OneNote, which is inexpensive (or on cloud, free) and has significant security through the Sharepoint system.
Data theft is headline news these days. We all have to assume that it will happen and plan to minimise the damage.
